**boageymonster** · 23-11-2010, 12:18 PM

well ive been pre reg since may!!! ofsted have everything theyve asked for including 3 seperate medical report for dh ( previous mental health issues over 6 yr ago!) and im still waiting

spoke to them yesterday and a suitibilty desicion still hasnt been made on my dh (father to my 4 los) surely they cant say he's not safe to be around children??? Has anyone else waited this long? i'm sick of the not knowing now at least if i knew they were gonna say no i could look into doing something else.
Sorry rant over

Crikey it must be hard for you to wait so long.

Unfortunately when Ofsted have to make decisions like that they cannot afford to make the wrong ones so they do tend to take their time.

I wonder if a letter to the complaints department about the time it has taken from application to now might speed things up?

Hopefully they will hurry things along for you soon x

Is your husband registering also?

My husband is my assistant and I didn't need medical decs for him at all and they processed my registration ok.

sorry it has been so frustrating for you - hope they make a decision soon

Must be very frustrating for you.

I am sure you want to ensure all children are safe and therefore understand that these checks need to be made.

However it should not take that long - suggest you phone every week and say you want to know if an issue with application or if some reason for delay their end.

Hope all gets sorted very soon

hi thanks for the reply, no my hubby isnt registering not even as my assistant, in fact he'll only be in the house for one of my working hours a day!! the thing thats making me mad is that ss gave him custody oif his son from prevoius relashionship and are now saying they dont think he's fit to be around children

he had a break down once 6 yr ago has never relapsd since, this all showed upp on his crb as police were called out to stop him from killing himself

So far ofsted have had a medical off his dr twice and a private company has also completed a medical check on him, also we have had an interview with mrs o in our house

( ive also had a pre reg visit wit her)
hopefully it wont be much longer ive been calling them every few days now!

My process started in May too and I have just had my pre reg visit so hoping to be registered by January-although Ofsted STILL haven't decided if I need another medical assessment (they have had my forms since August!!) Sometimes I really don't understand how it works-would have thouht it would have made more sense to have all that sorted before pre reg!

Hope you get a decision soon! It's so disheartening!! x
